Existing Homes

Last 12 months of usage (in kWh) / 8760 (hours in a year) / 0.144 (Evergy’s capacity factor - 14.4%) 

Example

  • Customer’s usage = 8500 kWh over the last 12 months ï‚· Calculation = 8500 / 8760 / 0.144 ï‚· Maximum system size = 6.72 kW

For customers less than 12 months usage:

Load Worksheet is available on KCPL.com


** Future loads:

"We are unable to consider potential future load, such as a pool addition or a new electric vehicle, when calculating the maximum system size."


New Construction

There is one exception to the maximum system size calculation, new construction. If an account was recently constructed and does not have 12 months of usage data, then we utilize the square footage of conditioned space for the building to estimate the annual usage

Formula

Sq. Footage x 7.15


Example

  • Building has 1500 sq. ft of conditioned space
  • Calculation 1 = 1500 x 7.15
  • Estimate usage = 10,725 o Calculation 2 = 10,725 /8760 / 0.144
  • Maximum system size = 8.50 kW

"As of today, Evergy has update their DER standards to allow three different meter

collar adapters. Evergy is approving these 3 meter collar connections only.

--GenerLink

--Tesla Backup Switch

--ConnectDER

Evergy personnel, along with the electrician, will need to be onsite together when the

meter adapter is installed. Until our installer portal is updated to collect information on

meter collars (expected in January 2025), please notify us in the portal when a post _x0002_inspection is requested for a meter collar installation"

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Evergy Missouri Metro before you rely on this. The useful move: if an installer says you need a main panel upgrade, ask how these tap and interconnection policies were considered first.
